(c) You will include the unique and specific identifier of each arrayed clone (which was initially assigned either by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories (IMAGE Consortium), and which accompanies the IMAGE MATERIALS) in data pertaining to the IMAGE MATERIALS submitted to public databases and in resulting publications. This nomenclature consists of the term "IMAGE Clone ID" followed by a five to seven digit number. You will refer publicly (including but not limited to electronic and print versions of articles and databases) to these arrayed cDNA clones as the "I.M.A.G.E. Consortium [LLNL] cDNA Clones", and will reference the following publication: "The I.M.A.G.E. Consortium: An Integrated Molecular Analysis of Genomes and
their Expression," Lennon, G.G., Auffray, C., Polymeropoulos, M., and Soares, M.B. [1996] Genomics 33, pgs. 151-152. In INTERNET/World Wide Web publications and databases, you agree to provide electronic referencing (e.g. 'anchors' and/or 'hotlinks') to the I.M.A.G.E. Consortium home page, currently located at URL http://image.llnl.gov.
